German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
Killer Cages: Digits in a cage must sum to the total given in the cage's top left corner.
Negative Digits: Every row, column, and 3x3 box has exactly one digit that has a negative value (e.g. 2 becomes a -2). None of the negative digits share the same value.

Very fun. Even after some digits hit a little road block for a bit there were lots of options that solved various conditions.

@Snookerfan Thank you! I think this one is quite a bit harder than any of my previous puzzles, but I hope you enjoy the others too.

Great puzzle! Way harder than expected: this constraint is quite devious and tricky. I had a blast and will try some of your other puzzles soon. Thanks
